Sun3ay, October 17, 1943 DAILY "NEBRASKAN 3 1 o) J I p.) I FaiDD iBeiffflir ydouos Ms B$Mb GSy 27 T S JklwuqkA With I Since I have none too much space today, and have so much to talk about, I will discuss a sport that is irrelevant, and may I add, not too often thought about or discussed. In fact, you might as well not read this to begin with, because the whole thing is so very useless. However, there are some sports enthusiasts who will find some amount of solace in delving into this little discussion; so, ready or not (God bless you), here I go. Have you tried strolling casu ally into the Corn Crib, picking out che best looking girls (or sol diers), sitting next to them, and ordering a Crib lately? I know what some of you are thinking al ready, but that is not the nature of this column. Well, after what began to run into hours, the waiter brings the delightful tid-bit to the booth. You look at it longingly, that delectable little browny snug gled away in a heap of creamy vanilla ice cream, just floating in oozy chocolate syrup. Your mouth waters, hastily you reach for your spoon. It is here.dear reader, that the sport begins. You sink the spoon into the ice cream, it yields with delicate expectancy. Nervously vou lean forward as the dirk reaches the browny. And plunk! Yes, a week old browny is a rare sporting treat for any willing to accept the challenge. It will and is, a to finish, demanding all of the athletic skill, contesting patience, and intestinal fortitude of the best of sporting enthusiasts. Intcrmurals Open The Intermural sports Inter- fraternity football playoffs got off with a bang last Thursday. Com pus enthusiasm ran high, and from the results of the games played, it looks like a wide open aTid rough season. In the opening game, the ATO's squeezed by with a narrow 12-6 margin over the Betas. It was a hotly contested game from start to finish, the winning score being soundly contested. Outstanding for the winners was G. Thompson, who scored both of the winning touchdowns. Korf and Dvorak were also outstanding on the ATO team. John Ander son and Penney were stellar shiners for the losers, Penney making the Beta's lone tally. The second game, between the Beta-Sigs and the Phi Gams, was a little more onesided, with the Beta-Sigs running over the Gams 18 to 0. The Beta Sigs displayed a fine passing and running attack be. which marked them for the team tough battle from start to beat in the tournament. JOHN C. BENTLEY. AMES. Ia.. Oct. 16 Although the Cyclones beat the Nebraska boys 27 to 6, it was an exciting game from start to finish. Tippee, of Iowa State, and Buzz Hollins, of the Scarlet, really showed a small crowd of 6,000, two distinct and exciting brands of ball. It was Tippee's finesse and passing that won for the Cyclones, and Hollins crashing runs, and drives that kept the Huskers in the game. The game was a wild and harem-scarem affair all the way through, with both teams fumbling at crucial points, constantly keep ing the crowd on its feet. Ewin. second string end took the Cyclone kicKoff on his own 28 yard line and ran it up to the 34, to open the game. A twenty yard run Hansen was called back on an offside penalty, and then Nebraska started a series of fumbles that lasted almost all of the first half. Clark Beaver couldn't get a hold of bad pass from center, and the Iowans took over on the Nebraska 25 yard line. It looked like a sure score for the Cyclones, but a penalty and an intercepted pass by Hansen gave the ball to the Huskers back up on their own 34. Apparently over-anxious, the Huskers lost the 6 Free Social Dancing Lessons Mrs. Flavia Waters Champe Instructor 7:30 P. M. Wed., Oct. 20 And Every Wednesday for Six Weeks Union Ballroom Identification Cards Please ball again, when Clark Beaver1 fumbled on the 42 yard line of Iowa with the Cyclones taking over, j After forcing the Iowans to punt to the Nebraska 25 yard line, the Huskers again fumbled the ball,! this time on their own 18 yard line. The Cyclones recovered, and were not to be denied a score this time, regardless of the fine play of the Husker line personified in the person of Jerry Jacupke, ho played a whale of a defen sive game from the starting whistle till the final gun. Tippee took over the tiller, and went for six and one around end and through the middle. One the next play, faking a pass, Tippee snuck over tackle for Iowa States initial tally. The attempted conversion was missed, and the score stood, Iowa State 6, Nebraska 0. After receiving the kickoff, Ne braska started driving down field, but lost the ball again to the Iowans on a fumble. This time Iowa State recovered on the Ne braska 34, but before they could start any sort of a drive, Haz zard, Nebraska guard, pounced on a Cyclone fumble in an exchange that netted the Huskers one yard to their own 35. Nebraska then staited what looked like a touchdown drive, with a flat pass from Wilkins. who was playing his last game for the Scarlet, to Hollins being nullified by a penalty after Hollins had run the ball all the way down to the 16 of Iowa State. Another pen alty of five yards, and an inter cepted pass gave the ball to the Cyclones on the mid-field strip. Here it was Iowa State's turn to almost score. A long thiity-thrw yard pass from Tippee and intend ed for Wagner, ex-Husker, was muffed by the. end who was out in the clear and in scoring posi tion. Two trys at the line netted the Iowans nine yards, hut on the next play, signals were mixed, and Nebraska took over on the Midfit Id strip. Sparked by big, bruising Buzz Hollins, the Huskers began what ended in a 50 yard touchdown march. On the first play, Wilkens went on a quarterback sneak over center for 5, and on the next play. Hollins taking a lateral from Wil kins went all the way to the Iowa 38 yd. line for a first down. H1 line then drove for 5 more, and two more sneaks by Wilkins put the ball on the 29, where it was fourth and about inches to go. Wil kins then fliped a lateral to Hnn sen who went around end and into "pay-dirt" standing up.
